Friday-noon are becoming two of my most coveted words to put together. Mostly because it represents time I will have for myself. To myself. Unless, of course, a family member requests my presence to which I rarely say no. Not out of some obligation (okay, on occasion), but mostly because I usually am in dire need of that intense Love I can get only from them. It can wash away all of the negativity, stress, concern and worry that I have allowed to be heaped on my shoulders. One giant hug from my niece sets me on a better course.
On this Friday afternoon, I am working on company concerns that will need to be addressed early next week. Meetings that I am not particularly looking forward to, but I know they are interactions that will help me grow as a manager and advocate. I am finding this role as manager possesses a duality that I could not see clearly before. You are there to represent employees as well as employer while keeping everyone satisfied. A true impossibility and a balancing act that many have proven successful. My outcomes are still to be determined.
The weather is cooperating with my mood. I want to stay in… watch movies..relax on the couch and eat ice cream. It is so much easier to do that when the skies are gray and rain is moving in. But I can't be lazy! I still have to prepare for the coming week's mission in the midst of these two days. Weekends are never long enough! And bringing work home interferes with my Zen practice of living in the moment. Always thinking about and anticipating the future. And so it goes…
Here's to your weekend, and to mine! Whatever we get into, whatever comes our way, may we enjoy it in the moment even as we plan for all of the moments we hope to have in the future!
